Laparoscopic approach for a cesarean scar pregnancy.

Objective: To describe a surgical technique of laparoscopic resection of a cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) with an immediate myometrial reconstruction. The advantage of such a technique is that it is a minimally-invasive procedure that can treat the ectopic pregnancy and the defected scar at the same time with good postoperative results.

Design: Video article with the description of a surgical minimally-invasive technique.

Pseudotumoral Endometriotic Nodule.

Study Objective: To demonstrate a rare case of a pediculated endometriotic nodule that was initially diagnosed as a solid adnexal mass.

Design: We present a stepwise narrated demonstration of our laparoscopic technique.

Setting: We present a case report of a patient aged 44 years, gravida 2 para 2, who was diagnosed with a solid (adnexal) mass during a gynecologic examination.

Oestradiol valerate pretreatment in GnRH-antagonist cycles: a randomized controlled trial.

This randomized controlled trial analyses the ability to control the oocyte retrieval schedule of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist cycles through the administration of oestradiol valerate during the luteo-follicular transition period prior to the initiation of ovarian stimulation. Eighty-six women undergoing ovarian stimulation for IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection were enrolled in the study. The control group (n = 42) received a standard ovarian stimulation protocol.
